HERE IS WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT HATE: IT"S NOT WHAT THE GAY ".COMMUNITY THINKS:

JOHN 15:18If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.

TORONTO, Ontario, July 6, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Christian preacher spreading God’s word on a sidewalk in Toronto during the Gay Pride Parade on Canada Day was verbally assaulted by homosexual supporters as police watched, and was later surrounded by as many as 12 officers who forced him to vacate the area.

“It was really hurtful, because if that’s what happens when Christians stand up and exercise and practice their faith, then we’re not far from being imprisoned or even killed for the faith.”

Lynn and his ministry team had set up a portable microphone system on a small cart, near the corner of Yonge and Wellesley, from which they preached and handed out religious tracts and free bibles.

Attached above the cart was a banner which read, “Free info about Jesus.”

A rainbow colored banner nearby the cart displayed the message, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18.”

Lynn told LifeSiteNews that he was there at the parade to preach to the LGBT community about the love of God.

“Jesus died for the entire world,” he said. “Everybody has an opportunity to be saved, including people at the Pride parade. There is no difference between them and me. I am a sinner just like they are. I wouldn’t have wasted my time if I didn’t think God’s loves them, if I didn’t think that there is hope for them.”

But Lynn’s Gospel message of love was seen as confrontational by some. Video cameras captured Lynn’s peaceful interactions with participants at the event and subsequent police intervention.

“You’re being disrespectful by showing up and spewing your Jesus sh*t at a f***ing pride event,” shouted a woman in a tight pink t-shirt wearing sunglasses.

Next a man walked up with a water bottle and doused the preacher and the young man who was filming the event.

After this Lynn offered to share his mic with those who had surrounded him so that they could have a back and forth conversation. However, at this point police officers arrived on the scene wearing Gay Pride rainbow stickers. They asked the preacher if he had a permit for what he was doing.

Lynn then appealed to the Charter’s rights and freedoms saying that there was nothing wrong with him having a conversation with people and “preaching what I believe”.

“You don’t have a permit for that; so that’s [the mic] off,” the officer said.

Lynn turned off his portable mic system and began to preach again.

But police began to surround him, effectively cutting him off from the people he was addressing.

“Guys, everybody, by staying listening to it you’re helping him get his message across. If you ignore him, it all goes away,” shouted officer Adams to the crowd.

Lynn then accused the officer of “taking sides.” By now six officers had surrounded the preacher.

“This is Canada Day, and I have freedom to believe whatever I want to believe and to preach what I want to preach,” said Lynn to the gathering police force.

One officer shouted at the cameraman “Hey, you’re blocking the sidewalk now”, and forcefully grabbed for the camera. Other cameras that caught the action show a police officer manhandling Lynn’s cameraman, pushing him along the sidewalk.

“What really disturbed me the most was to see the police assault our 17-year-old cameraman,” Lynn said to LifeSiteNews.

Lynn also says he was flabbergasted by the “hate” that was shown to him and his ministry team by the homosexual paraders.

“To see Christians hated so aggressively by members in that community…I haven’t seen that level of hatred. And there were cheers for that kind of hatred and that kind of discrimination. If that’s what that parade is about — hatred towards Christianity — that’s scary.”

Lynn was also distraught that the police were “supporting them and their hatred and their discrimination and their assault when all I was doing was saying ‘Jesus loves you.’”

Despite all the hostility, Lynn says that his street ministry that day was not in vain.

“We were expecting that people would come to faith in Christ, be saved, be set free, and feel the love of Christ. Despite opposition, we reached our goal,” he said.

Lynn says it is “possible” that he might pursue legal action against the Toronto Police Force if it will “help the Gospel message to be spread and help people on the streets who preach the faith to feel safe”.

“I think I was violated. I don’t think that’s how the police should treat people. That’s bigotry at its worst. That’s hypocrisy. That’s using a double standard.”

Seemingly unfazed by the Pride Parade confrontation, an optimistic Lynn was back preaching on the streets of Toronto on Tuesday with his portable information booth stocked full of “Free info about Jesus.”

I believe that eating pork is a sin - a huge sin, one where you are doing abomination.

At no time in my 70+ years have I walked into a Paork BBQ place and started preaching the Law and telling how it is that Jesus never touched pork and that its unclean and abomination.

As much as you might want to spin this to make this preacher out to be a 'good guy' the fact was he knew that going to gay pride and preaching anything about homosexuality would incite a riot. Just like I know my going to a Pork BBQ place preaching how its sinful to eat pork would incite a riot.

There is right time and a right place for everything. Preacher picked the wrong - and on purpose too.

“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.”- William S. Burroughs

How can you say there is a wrong time to tell the truth. If you believe strongly that eating pork is a sin, then you should by all means help others. This preacher had a right to preach and to lead men to repentance and salvation in Jesus Christ. If another can determine what is a reasonable place or time for one to speak truth in Christ Jesus, then we will NOT be allowed to speak it at all.

The hate of these angry homosexuals was wrong for if the man was no threat to them, they should have just ignored him. Yet, they were filled with violent anger and that tells us something. Something very important.

He should have been allowed to speak. you may not agree with what he had to say, but you should agree to protect his freedom of speech if you value yours.

Do Physicians treat healthy or sick people?

The Gospel is taken to all who have ears to hear, and maybe some do at a Gay Parade...

your the reason there is gay pride. why do you think it exists becaue up until very recently that was the norm for gays, constant bashing verbally phssically , spirituallylet people be accept and open your hearts to people , jesus would have, he would not have judged them. thats not how you win the hearts of people and if you really knew the teachings of jesus you would know thatVATICAN SHILL!!!!!

Since when was preaching about getting saved through Jesus Christ and going to Heaven hate? You would think everyone, including the homosexual would want to go to Heaven. It was the homosexuals that hated there and they should be ashamed of themselves. If homosexuals have the right to publically profess their sins in a public arena, the preacher has every right to preach in that same public arena.. Key word here, PUBLIC.

All discrimination and violence directed towards Gays and Lesbians has its root in the christianity and islam. I am glad the Gay and Lesbian community is finally standing up to the hate mongering preachers hiding behind their bibles.

So if the entire world accepted Homosexuality and those who partake in it, then why did Jesus have to come to earth, to preach then be tortured and killed??? If no one has to repent of SINS??? Do you think Jesus just wasted his time, because people are going to sin and expect blessings for sinning...

Why can't faggots keep their faggotry to themselves? Answer: freedom. Everybody should be able to have it not just faggots.

You don't see Gays on sidewalks talking out to str8s trying to convert them!Freedom is beautiful, freedom to express yourself.. freedom is not trying to change the way people express themselves.That's domination! Seeking control over others or wanting people to change, nothing respectful about that.

Would Christians be comfortable with gay people protesting at any and every event the Christians have or would they scream persecution?

Exactly, we all believe different things.We're also all different sizes and colors!We all are different but all humans in this world together.As long as we don't HURT each other.. we all should respect each other!It's time people cut the , the hate... and start respecting and loving one another.Maybe the World wouldn't be so then!
